Nisha Ganatra will direct the upcoming sequel to 'Freaky Friday.

Ganatra recently directed two episodes of Hulu’s Welcome to Chippendales, along with 2020 film The High Note starring Dakota Johnson and Tracee Ellis Ross and 2019’s Late Night with Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson. Last May, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that a sequel was officially in development with a script in the works with Curtis and Lohan expected to return to their roles as Anna and Tess Coleman, respectively, after 20 years. In an early 2023 interview with the New York Times, Curtis also revealed that she made a call to Disney right after she completed her press tour for Halloween Ends, during which she was repeatedly asked about the possibility of a Freaky Friday sequel actually happening.
